Heins disappointed in March launch for U.S. BlackBerry Z10

While BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins should be pleased with the way that the BlackBerry Z10 launch has taken off in the U.K. and Canada, the executive is disappointed that U.S. carriers won't be selling the device until late next month; Heins says that for BlackBerry to be successful, it has to take market share back in the U.S...

Strange crowd the UK. Why would they buy a 2011 tech phone for 2013 price? Don't get me wrong, it would've destroyed your average gingerbread and it's a well-rounded phone. For 2011 standards. The Xperia Z and Galaxy SIV will smash the Z10 in sales. (I guess Lewis Hamilton has great selling power on the Isles).

Why are u So slow? Who cares about the android! Its about the amazing software that the people love about the new blackberry...you are so stuck up about android that its depressing. I can easily get any android device I want right now but blackberry is just better in ways

None have you has ever used BB10, therefore all of your arguments are irrelevant. You should all be hoping Blackberry succeeds instead of being stuck in your fanboy ways of, "My OS is always the best and everything else sucks." Competition breeds innovation. Stupidity breeds more stupidity.

Nicely said. Some people are so damned hooked on the OS they own it unbelievable. Why can't everyone just relax and enjoy the phone they have, why bash on why the other Phone/OS is outdated and sucks..
People want variety, having to OS will get tiring eventually, because there is just "that much" of innovation that a company can produce, then eventually, it will be repetitive stuff labeled as "new and innovative" and the company has you where they wanted you, Your Cash in their pockets.

Thanks for asking...Peek and flow makes it easy to keep contact with anyone through text, facebook, etc without having to close the app or game u might be using... Another great thing is the active tiles which are in real time. Android has widgets which is great but i rather have the active tiles

The revolutionary keyboard which is still the best even on touch screen! This is the only time that i finally decided to go full touch while still on my BB 9900. Cuz they make it easy. Iphone and adnroid doesn't come close. Above all who wants to copy everyone with android or iphone like all my friends have or left BB for...the resoltion better than rest, screen size not HUGE! so i still have pocket space, etc etc........

That right there is enough to keep me with BB cuz it's different and easier to use from other platforms...They make what the fans wanted, simple!

good points. Its sad that Blackberry missed the boat to do a launch last year, they could have potentially staved off some of their lost customers, but its good to see that the resulting release is a strong one. WP8 is pretty much screwed.

I agree that Android or Windows Phone OS don't have it, but we can't say that BlackBerry OS is better than Android or Windows Phone OS because of "Peek and Flow" because it is more question of preference than evident advantage.

2. Live Tiles

In my opinion it also doesn't make BlackBerry OS better than other because Windows Phone also has "Live Tiles" and as you have mentioned already Android has Widgets. Also it can be solved with additional applications.

3. Newfangled Keyboard

Agree, it is something unique, but only unique keyboard can't make whole OS better than other OS(es).

4. Screen size not "HUGE"

There is even more different models with different display sizes in Android camp.

Wow I see the android people are upset with more blackberry news. Its old tech they say.... But you don't need massive hardware for a perfectly optimized OS. Its DOA they say...... Its selling faster then windows phones and its sold out just about everywhere. Its this and Its that blah blah blah. You Blackberry haters are just But Hurt that a promising fresh new OS is on the rise and you feel threatened that it will succeed and make android not so cool anymore. How sad that PA has been overtaken with android users and now they troll in every Apple and Blackberry article.
